Cyberbullying Regs in Delaware

The public is getting a chance in writing to weigh in on cyberbulling in Delaware through February 15th.

State education officials are working up new regulations first proposed in October.

The cyberbullying policy will cover postings on sites ranging from Facebook and Twitter to MySpace, YouTube, and Pinterest.

The new rules would deal with electronic communication aimed at an identifiable student or group of students or that may interfere with a student’s physical well-being.

Such communications include those that are threatening or intimidating and are likely to limit participation in educational programs.
